This commit removes all the scripts located in src/tools/msvc/ to build
PostgreSQL with Visual Studio on Windows, meson becoming the recommended
way to achieve that. The scripts held some information that is still
relevant with meson, information kept and moved to better locations.
Comments that referred directly to the scripts are removed.
All the documentation still relevant that was in install-windows.sgml
has been moved to installation.sgml under a new subsection for Visual.
All the content specific to the scripts is removed. Some adjustments
for the documentation are planned in a follow-up set of changes.

For the trivial case of iovcnt == 1, kernels are measurably slower at
dealing with the more complex arguments of preadv/pwritev than the
equivalent plain old pread/pwrite. The overheads are worth it for
iovcnt > 1, but for 1 let's just redirect to the cheaper calls. While
we could leave it to callers to worry about that, we already have to
have our own pg_ wrappers for portability reasons so it seems
reasonable to centralize this knowledge there (thanks to Heikki for this
suggestion). Try to avoid function call overheads by making them
inlinable, which might also allow the compiler to avoid the branch in
some cases. For systems that don't have preadv and pwritev (currently:
Windows and [closed] Solaris), we might as well pull the replacement
functions up into the static inline functions too.

A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in
particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and
man documentation. We have done this consistent with established
practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a
tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right
version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a
convenience to users.
Now this has at least two problems:
One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building
from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty
complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not
currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from
a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very
difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson
requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update
files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a
tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree
and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the
compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot,
for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball.
This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way.
Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the
origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the
git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to
packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git
tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible.
The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that
adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains
what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build
dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to
keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we
want to get the meson build system working universally.
This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make
dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep
anymore.
(*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make
dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now.
The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the
prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an
alias to make distprep. (In practice, it is probably obsolete given
that git clean is available.)
The following programs are now hard build requirements in configure
(they were already required by meson.build):
- bison
- flex
- perl

Since C99, there can be a trailing comma after the last value in an
enum definition. A lot of new code has been introducing this style on
the fly. Some new patches are now taking an inconsistent approach to
this. Some add the last comma on the fly if they add a new last
value, some are trying to preserve the existing style in each place,
some are even dropping the last comma if there was one. We could
nudge this all in a consistent direction if we just add the trailing
commas everywhere once.
I omitted a few places where there was a fixed "last" value that will
always stay last. I also skipped the header files of libpq and ecpg,
in case people want to use those with older compilers. There were
also a small number of cases where the enum type wasn't used anywhere
(but the enum values were), which ended up confusing pgindent a bit,
so I left those alone.

The meson build scripts attempt to find files left over from configure
and fail, mentioning that "make maintainer-clean" should be run to remove
these. This seems to have been done for files generated from configure.
pg_config_paths.h is generated during the actual make build, so seems to
have been missed. This would result in compilation using the wrong
pg_config_paths.h file.
Here we just add this file to generated_sources_ac so that meson errors
out if pg_config_paths.h exists.
Likely this wasn't noticed before because make maintainer-clean will
remove pg_config_paths.h, however, people using the MSVC build scripts
are more likely to run into issues and they have to manually remove
these files and pg_config_paths.h wasn't listed as a conflicting file to
remove in the meson log.

Unlike the other implementations of getopt_long() I could find, the
in-tree implementation does not reorder non-options to the end of
argv. Instead, it returns -1 as soon as the first non-option is
found, even if there are other options listed afterwards. By
moving non-options to the end of argv, getopt_long() can parse all
specified options and return -1 when only non-options remain.
This quirk is periodically missed by hackers (e.g., 869aa40a27,
ffd398021c, and d9ddc50baf). This commit introduces the
aforementioned non-option reordering behavior to the in-tree
getopt_long() implementation.
Special thanks to Noah Misch for his help verifying behavior on
AIX.

but now all that's left is wrapper code for user name and home directory

Run pgindent, pgperltidy, and reformat-dat-files.
This set of diffs is a bit larger than typical. We've updated to
pg_bsd_indent 2.1.2, which properly indents variable declarations that
have multi-line initialization expressions (the continuation lines are
now indented one tab stop). We've also updated to perltidy version
20230309 and changed some of its settings, which reduces its desire to
add whitespace to lines to make assignments etc. line up. Going

Calling fseek() or ftello() on a handle to a non-seeking device such as
a pipe or a communications device is not supported. Unfortunately,
MSVC's flavor of these routines, _fseeki64() and _ftelli64(), do not
return an error when given a pipe as handle. Some of the logic of
pg_dump and restore relies on these routines to check if a handle is
seekable, causing failures when passing the contents of pg_dump to
pg_restore through a pipe, for example.
This commit introduces wrappers for fseeko() and ftello() on MSVC so as
any callers are able to properly detect the cases of non-seekable
handles. This relies mainly on GetFileType(), sharing a bit of code
with the MSVC port for fstat(). The code in charge of getting a file
type is refactored into a new file called win32common.c, shared by
win32stat.c and the new win32fseek.c. It includes the MSVC ports for
fseeko() and ftello().
Like 765f5df, this is backpatched down to 14, where the fstat()
implementation for MSVC is able to understand about files larger than
4GB in size. Using a TAP test for that is proving to be tricky as
IPC::Run handles the pipes by itself, still I have been able to check
the fix manually.

The previous coding based on select() had commentary about historical
portability concerns. Use POSIX nanosleep() instead.
This has independently been suggested a couple of times before, but
never managed to stick. Since recent and proposed work removes other
uses of select(), and associated code and comments relating to its
non-portable interaction with signals, it seems like a good time to tidy
up this case, too.
Also modernize the explanation of why WaitLatch() is a better way to

The current implementation of _pgfstat64() is ineffective in detecting a
terminal handle or an anonymous named pipe. This commit improves our
port of fstat() to detect more efficiently such cases by relying on
GetFileType(), and returning more correct data when the type found is
either a FILE_TYPE_PIPE (_S_IFIFO) or a FILE_TYPE_CHAR (_S_IFCHR).
This is part of a more global fix to address failures when feeding the
output generated by pg_dump to pg_restore through a pipe, for example,
but not all of it. We are also going to need to do something about
fseek() and ftello() which are not reliable on WIN32 for the same cases
where fstat() was incorrect. Fixing fstat() is independent of the rest,
though, which is why both fixes are handled separately, and this is the
first part of it.

Until now we emitted the cflags to build the CRC objects into architecture
specific variables. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me - we're never
going to target x86 and arm at the same time, so they don't need to be
separate variables.
It might be better to instead continue to have CFLAGS_SSE42 /
CFLAGS_ARMV8_CRC32C be computed by PGAC_ARMV8_CRC32C_INTRINSICS /
PGAC_SSE42_CRC32_INTRINSICS and then set CFLAGS_CRC based on those. But it
seems unlikely that we'd need other sets of CRC specific flags for those two
architectures at the same time.
This simplifies the upcoming meson PGXS compatibility.

Commit f357233c assumed that it was OK to return ENOENT directly if
lstat() failed that way. If we got STATUS_DELETE_PENDING while trying
to unlink a file that we had already unlinked successfully once before
but someone else still had open (on a kernel version that has "pending"
unlinks by default), then we would no longer reach the retry loop in
pgunlink(). That loop claims to be only for handling sharing violations
(a different phenomenon), but the errno is the same.
Restore that behavior with an explicit check, to see if it fixes the
occasional 'directory not empty' failures seen in the pg_upgrade tests
on CI. Further improvements are possible with proposed upgrades to
modern Windows APIs that would replace this convoluted code.

Commit c5cb8f3b supposed that we'd only ever have to follow one junction
point in stat(), because we don't construct longer chains of them ourselves.
When examining a parent directory supplied by the user, we should really be
able to cope with longer chains, just in case someone has their system
set up that way. Choose an arbitrary cap of 8, to match the minimum
acceptable value of SYMLOOP_MAX in POSIX.
Previously I'd avoided reporting ELOOP thinking Windows didn't have it,

Since commit c5cb8f3b taught stat() to follow symlinks, and since initdb
uses pg_mkdir_p(), and that examines parent directories, our humble
readlink() implementation can now be exposed to junction points not of
PostgreSQL origin. Those might be corrupted by our naive path mangling,
which doesn't really understand NT paths in general.
Simply decline to transform paths that don't look like a drive absolute
path. That means that readlink() returns the NT path directly when
checking a parent directory of PGDATA that happen to point to a drive
using "rooted" format. That works for the purposes of our stat()
emulation.

snprintf.c has always fallen back on libc's *printf implementation
when printing pointers (%p) and floats. When this code originated,
we were still supporting some platforms that lacked native snprintf,
so we used sprintf for that. That's not actually unsafe in our usage,
but nonetheless builds on macOS are starting to complain about sprintf
being unconditionally deprecated; and I wouldn't be surprised if other
platforms follow suit. There seems little reason to believe that any
platform supporting C99 wouldn't have standards-compliant snprintf,
so let's just use that instead to suppress such warnings.
Back-patch to v12, which is where we started to require C99. It's
also where we started to use our snprintf.c everywhere, so this
wouldn't be enough to suppress the warning in older branches anyway
--- that is, in older branches these aren't necessarily all our
usages of libc's sprintf. It is enough in v12+ because any
deprecation annotation attached to libc's sprintf won't apply to
pg_sprintf. (Whether all our usages of pg_sprintf are adequately
safe is not a matter I intend to address here, but perhaps it could
do with some review.)

This substantially speeds up building for windows, due to the vast amount of
headers included via windows.h. A cross build from linux targetting mingw goes
from
994.11user 136.43system 0:31.58elapsed 3579%CPU
to
422.41user 89.05system 0:14.35elapsed 3562%CPU
The wins on windows are similar-ish (but I don't have a system at hand just
now for actual numbers). Targetting other operating systems the wins are far
smaller (tested linux, macOS, FreeBSD).
For now precompiled headers are disabled by default, it's not clear how well
they work on all platforms. E.g. on FreeBSD gcc doesn't seem to have working
support, but clang does.
When doing a full build precompiled headers are only beneficial for targets
with multiple .c files, as meson builds a separate precompiled header for each
target (so that different compilation options take effect). This commit
therefore only changes target with at least two .c files to use precompiled
headers.
Because this commit adds b_pch=false to the default_options new build
directories will have precompiled headers disabled by default, however
existing build directories will continue use the default value of b_pch, which
is true.
Note that using precompiled headers with ccache requires setting
CCACHE_SLOPPINESS=pch_defines,time_macros to get hits.

We'd like to use precompiled headers on windows to reduce compile times. Right
now we rely on defining UMDF_USING_NTSTATUS before including postgres.h in a few
select places - which doesn't work with precompiled headers. Instead define
it globally.
When UMDF_USING_NTSTATUS is defined we need to explicitly include ntstatus.h,
winternl.h to get a comparable set of symbols. Right now these includes would
be required in a number of non-platform-specific .c files - to avoid that,
include them in win32_port.h. Based on my measurements that doesn't increase
compile times measurably.

Commits cf112c12 and a0dc8271 were a little too hasty in getting rid of
the pg_ prefixes where we use pread(), pwrite() and vectored variants.
We dropped support for ancient Unixes where we needed to use lseek() to
implement replacements for those, but it turns out that Windows also
changes the current position even when you pass in an offset to
ReadFile() and WriteFile() if the file handle is synchronous, despite
its documentation saying otherwise.
Switching to asynchronous file handles would fix that, but have other
complications. For now let's just put back the pg_ prefix and add some
comments to highlight the non-standard side-effect, which we can now
describe as Windows-only.

Autoconf is showing its age, fewer and fewer contributors know how to wrangle
it. Recursive make has a lot of hard to resolve dependency issues and slow
incremental rebuilds. Our home-grown MSVC build system is hard to maintain for
developers not using Windows and runs tests serially. While these and other
issues could individually be addressed with incremental improvements, together
they seem best addressed by moving to a more modern build system.
After evaluating different build system choices, we chose to use meson, to a
good degree based on the adoption by other open source projects.
We decided that it's more realistic to commit a relatively early version of
the new build system and mature it in tree.
This commit adds an initial version of a meson based build system. It supports
building postgres on at least AIX, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
Solaris and Windows (however only gcc is supported on aix, solaris). For
Windows/MSVC postgres can now be built with ninja (faster, particularly for
incremental builds) and msbuild (supporting the visual studio GUI, but
building slower).
Several aspects (e.g. Windows rc file generation, PGXS compatibility, LLVM
bitcode generation, documentation adjustments) are done in subsequent commits
requiring further review. Other aspects (e.g. not installing test-only
extensions) are not yet addressed.
When building on Windows with msbuild, builds are slower when using a visual
studio version older than 2019, because those versions do not support
MultiToolTask, required by meson for intra-target parallelism.
The plan is to remove the MSVC specific build system in src/tools/msvc soon
after reaching feature parity. However, we're not planning to remove the
autoconf/make build system in the near future. Likely we're going to keep at
least the parts required for PGXS to keep working around until all supported
versions build with meson.

Backpatch: 12-, where 3fd2a7932ef introduced (some) of these files

For some reason we'd never decorated pg_v*printf() with
pg_attribute_printf() annotations. There is a convention for
how to label va_list-using printf functions (write zero for the
second argument), and we use that liberally elsewhere in the
code, but these core functions lacked it. It's not clear how
much useful checking the compiler can do for calls of these,
but we might as well add the annotations.
Also, sync win32security.c's log_error() with our normal convention
that pg_attribute_printf must be attached to a function's declaration
not definition. Apparently this file is only compiled with compilers
that aren't picky about that, but still it'd be better to be
consistent.
No back-patch since there's little reason to think we would catch
anything.

All the code and comments cleaned up here is irrelevant since 495ed0e.
Note that this removes an assumption that CreateRestrictedToken() may
not exist, something that could have happened when running under Windows
NT as the code stated. Rather than assuming that it may not exist, this
causes pg_ctl to fail hard if the function cannot be loaded.

SUSv3 <netinet/in.h> defines struct sockaddr_in6, and all targeted Unix
systems have it. Windows has it in <ws2ipdef.h>. Remove the configure
probe, the macro and a small amount of dead code.
Also remove a mention of IPv6-less builds from the documentation, since
there aren't any.
This is similar to commits f5580882 and 077bf2f2 for Unix sockets. Even
though AF_INET6 is an "optional" component of SUSv3, there are no known
modern operating system without it, and it seems even less likely to be
omitted from future systems than AF_UNIX.

SUSv3, all targeted Unixes and modern Windows have getaddrinfo() and
related interfaces. Drop the replacement implementation, and adjust
some headers slightly to make sure that the APIs are visible everywhere
using standard POSIX headers and names.

<sys/resource.h> is in SUSv2 and is on all targeted Unix systems. We
have a replacement for getrusage() on Windows, so let's just move its
declarations into src/include/port/win32/sys/resource.h so that we can
use a standard-looking #include. Also remove an obsolete reference to
CLK_TCK. Also rename src/port/getrusage.c to win32getrusage.c,
following the convention for Windows-only fallback code.

<sys/un.h> is in SUSv3 and every targeted Unix has it. Some Windows
tool chains may still lack the approximately equivalent header
<afunix.h>, so we already defined struct sockaddr_un ourselves on that
OS for now. To harmonize things a bit, move our definition into a new
header src/include/port/win32/sys/un.h.
HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS is now defined unconditionally. We migh remove that
in a separate commit, pending discussion.

Previously we bothered to forward-declare struct timezone, following man
pages on typical systems, but POSIX actually says the argument (which we
ignore anyway) is void *. Drop a line.
While here, add an assertion that nobody actually uses the tzp argument.
Previously we did extra work to select between Windows APIs needed on
older releases, but now we can just use the higher resolution function
directly.

There's no known supported system needing 1 argument gettimeofday()
support. The test for it was added a long time ago (92c6bf9775b). Remove.
Until now we tested whether a gettimeofday() fallback is needed when
targetting windows. Which lead to the odd result that HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY only
being defined when targetting MinGW (which has gettimeofday() since at least
2007). As the fallback is specific to msvc, remove the configure code and
rename src/port/gettimeofday.c to src/port/win32gettimeofday.c.
While at it, also remove the definition of struct timezone, a forward
declaration of the struct is sufficient.

Now that lstat() reports junction points with S_IFLNK/S_ISLINK(), and
unlink() can unlink them, there is no need for conditional code for
Windows in a few places. That was expressed by testing for WIN32 or
S_ISLNK, which we can now constant-fold.
The coding around pgwin32_is_junction() was a bit suspect anyway, as we
never checked for errors, and we also know that errors can be spuriously
reported because of transient sharing violations on this OS. The
lstat()-based code has handling for that.
This also reverts 4fc6b6ee on master only. That was done because
lstat() didn't previously work for symlinks (junction points), but now
it does.

Junction points will be reported with S_ISLNK(x.st_mode), simulating
POSIX lstat(). stat() will follow pseudo-symlinks, like in POSIX (but
only one level before giving up, unlike in POSIX).
This completes a TODO left by commit bed90759fcb.
